: Venous ulcers are recognized to be more painful and resistant to therapy than ulcers of other etiologies. Various methods have been used for the conservative treatment of venous ulcers, such as pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) and plantar exercise, which promote wound healing due to a range of physiological effects. The study aimed to examine the effect of combined pulsed electromagnetic field therapy and plantar flexion resistance exercise (PRE) on patients with venous leg ulcers (VLUs). : The study was a prospective, randomized controlled trial. A total of 60 patients between the ages of 40 and 55 with venous ulcers were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups. For up to 12 weeks, the first group received PEMF therapy and plantar flexion resistance exercise (PRE) therapy in addition to conservative ulcer treatment for up to 12 weeks. The second group received only PEMF therapy in addition to conservative ulcer treatment, while the third group served as the control and received only conservative ulcer treatment. : At the four-week follow-up, the two experimental groups revealed a considerable variation in ulcer surface area (USA) and ulcer volume (UV), with no significant change in the control group. At the 12-week follow-up, there were significant differences between the three groups, while group A underwent the most significant changes, with mean differences at [95% confidence interval] of (-4.75, -3.82, -0.98) for USA and (-12.63, -9.55, -2.45) for UV, respectively. : On a short-term basis, adding a plantar resistance exercise to the PEMF had no appreciable short-term effects on ulcer healing; however, their combination had more pronounced medium-term effects.
静脉溃疡比其他病因引起的溃疡更疼痛,更难治疗。已经使用了各种方法来保守治疗静脉溃疡,如脉冲电磁场(PEMF)和足底运动,这些方法由于一系列生理效应促进伤口愈合。本研究旨在探讨联合脉冲电磁场治疗和足底屈曲阻力运动(PRE)对静脉性腿部溃疡(VLU)患者的影响。
这项研究是一项前瞻性、随机对照试验。共有 60 名年龄在 40 至 55 岁之间的静脉溃疡患者被随机分为 3 组之一。在长达 12 周的时间内,第一组接受 PEMF 治疗和足底屈曲阻力运动(PRE)治疗,此外还接受长达 12 周的保守溃疡治疗。第二组仅接受 PEMF 治疗,此外还接受保守溃疡治疗,而第三组作为对照组仅接受保守溃疡治疗。
在四周的随访中,两个实验组的溃疡表面积(USA)和溃疡体积(UV)有明显变化,对照组没有明显变化。在 12 周的随访中,三组之间有显著差异,而 A 组的变化最大,USA 的平均差异为(-4.75,-3.82,-0.98),UV 的平均差异为(-12.63,-9.55,-2.45)。
在短期内,将足底阻力运动添加到 PEMF 中对溃疡愈合没有明显的短期影响;然而,它们的联合使用对中期效果更明显。
